These materials can be obtained very easily, but what about other things, is it difficult to let the conscripts or soldiers go to the workshop by themselves and be distracted from manufacturing? Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing?

The completion of the new palace, I really don't know what year and month it will have to wait.

Some workshops, such as bricks and tiles, lacquer, which are ancestral industries, have their own unique craftsmanship, and the materials used in the construction of the new palace are naturally of the highest quality, and can only be used by those merchants who are inserted in the middle.

As for Chang'an Institute of Technology, these things can indeed be made, but how many people are there in the College of Engineering, more than 100 people, the huge new palace of Longshouyuan, the materials used, is it possible to rely on these more than 100 people to pull a team to research and manufacture?

Moreover, these more than 100 people are also divided into different types of craftsmen, and they specialize in the art industry.

Therefore, it is imperative to purchase the materials for the construction of the new palace from the big merchants. But it was stuck on the price, so that Yan Lide is now in a dilemma, before Xuan Shijing negotiated with some businessmen to negotiate eighty percent of the price, and then there were these big businessmen who held the price and did not let go.

If Yan Lide relented, then the previous businessmen would not be happy, people supported the court like this, but in the end, they got such a result, offended those businessmen, and also offended Xuan Shijing, which made His Majesty displeased.

Don't let go, on the side of Longshouyuan, within half a month, the materials will definitely run out, and the progress of building the new palace will inevitably be interrupted.

"This official knows that you all have to support your family, but Your Majesty's will has been explained, and Xuan Gong has also discussed it with some businessmen. Yan Lide said earnestly: "Your difficulties, the official understands, but everyone, you also understand the difficulties of the official, it's not that the official refuses to let go, it's just that this is ....... Alas, it's difficult, it's really difficult, or you don't care about evil the court at all. ”

"Lord Yan, let's say something that doesn't matter, this court can't make people unhappy." A businessman said.

"This official knows that because of the construction of the new palace, the materials in the entire Guanzhong have been ordered by major businessmen and shipped to Chang'an, and now even if the imperial court sends someone to Guanzhong to buy it, I am afraid that it will not be able to receive it, but everyone, you are not afraid of losing so many materials in your hands?" Yan Lide said: "The Tang Dynasty is not only related to China, but also Suzhou and Hangzhou, as well as Yangzhou, as well as the south, the people sent by the imperial court purchased materials in these places, and then went north along the canal, transported to Guanzhong by the Yellow River, and transported to Longshouyuan, maybe within half a year, the materials in your hands will rot in your hands." ”

"This ......." The merchants looked at each other.

What Yan Lide said is a fact, a fact half a year later, or even half a year later, a year later, but in the final analysis, his words are right.

"But, Lord Yan, the cost of transporting materials from the south to Longshouyuan on the way is not cheaper than the market price to buy in Chang'an, right?" A merchant said, "Why should you go far and near your lordship? Moreover, here in Chang'an, it can be sent directly to Longshouyuan, but after a day's work, I hope that adults will think twice. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, no one likes to be coerced, including Your Majesty." Yan Lide said with a smile: "So, you have to think carefully about this matter, don't be blinded by the small profits in front of you, the materials in Guanzhong, the continuous output, how much can you buy?" How many acquisitions are many? They are all pulled into their own homes, hoarded in their own hands, and sold to whom? Ordinary people don't build palaces, who will buy them from you in large quantities? Wait a little longer, it's been a long time, there is no shortage of materials in the new palace, and your things are small to smash in your hands, and it's true to offend people. ”

As for who he offended, it was clear that he offended Xuan Shijing, offended the big businessman Qianhe, and offended those businessmen who stood with the money.

The Chamber of Commerce under Qian Dui's hands is huge, and with Xuan Shijing and even the crown prince and the two princes as their backing, they have set up such an enemy for themselves, and these people have to weigh it carefully in their hearts.

Even if there is a noble backer behind him, is it worth it to resist hard?

Merchants are always businessmen, rich but powerless, although some businessmen behind the master family is the nobles of Chang'an City, but if they offend people like this, even if they are their masters, they have to weigh it.

The main family is in secret, not everyone will stand up as openly as Xuan Shijing, and the last time Xuan Shijing stood up, it was also under His Majesty's will, and the rest of the people are just a group of businessmen on the surface, and they are also businessmen in an alliance together, how long can they last?

Even if the main family behind it is now uniting to fight for the merchants in front of His Majesty, His Majesty has made up his mind before, and he can't let down those businessmen, and he will definitely not change his order, so in the end, they are the ones who suffer.

What about the shutdown of work on Longshou Plain?

After some time, it will be winter, a winter, the progress on the dragon head is bound to slow down, around the first day, it will stop work, the conscripts on the dragon head are going home for the festival, and after the festival, they will regather on the dragon head plain, this back and forth, it takes a lot of time, don't say the first day, there is the first day after the first day.

After the Shangyuan Festival, there is spring, after the beginning of spring, the ice of the Yellow River will melt, the canal will start shipping again, and the materials from the south will be continuously transported to the north, transported to Guanzhong, and transported to Longshouyuan.

Moreover, what Yan Lide said is also good, the materials in Guanzhong, the continuous output, is it possible that they want to completely monopolize all of these? The more you hoard, the more you hoard, the more you lose!

If there were not enough materials on the Dragon Head Plain, those merchants who had previously cooperated with the imperial court would definitely rack their brains to find a way to deal with such a matter, either step up the acquisition in Guanzhong, or go further.

The businessmen here know that even if the market is eighty percent, it is also profitable, a large number, is a small profit but quick turnover, the profit is very considerable, in the end, they not only lose a bottom, but also let their opponents sit big, this future, this line is the world of those people.......

Yan Lide persuaded him with good words first, and threatened him later, and after saying such a thing, he sat in his seat and drank tea indifferently, observing the faces of these merchants silently.

Now it seems that his words are still somewhat useful, at least judging by the faces of these merchants, they have been shaken, and next, add another fire.
